The flagship keynote

Beyond ComplianceDoes It Actually Work?

A policy can say people are welcome. A building can meet a minimum. A team can complete training. This keynote asks what happens when a person actually tries to get in, make a booking, ask a question, do the job or take part.

Audience
Councils, schools, employers, tourism operators, conferences
Outcome
The room leaves with a sharper question and something they can take back to work — not just awareness.
Formats
Keynote 45–60 min. Can pair with a facilitated conversation, or lead to a separately scoped review or workshop.

Regional NSW is not a smaller version of the city. This talk is about what actually works for people in regional communities — services, tourism, and places that are designed for the people who live there and visit there.

Audience: Regional councils, Destination NSW partners, regional conferences, visitor economy

What Holds by Skye Shannon — book cover
Author talk

WHAT HOLDS

What it takes to live when being seen is not the same as being understood. A book about loss, identity, being understood and what helps a person keep going. Not an overcoming story.

For libraries, bookshops, festivals and community groups.

A keynote can stand alone. A facilitated discussion, review, workshop or implementation project is separately scoped and priced. No stage as a disguised sales pitch.
